Earlier, the government has issued some guidelines for setting up of charging stations for e-vehicles across the country. There is a clear mention in the guidelines that such charging stations are to be set up at every 25 kilometers. The Union Housing and Urban Affairs Ministry said in an official statement that the government expects that by 2030, 25 percent of all vehicles running on the roads will be e-vehicles. In this case, there is a need to set up infrastructure for charging e-vehicles across the country.
It has been said that at least one e-vehicle charging station should be built on every 100 kilometers on both sides of highways for capable or heavy electric vehicles to go for long distance. The government has also advocated the construction of a charging station in the residential areas. Also, public charging stations are recommended to be installed at every 25 kilometers on both sides of the road or highway.
